The document provides instructions for calculating scores on the C2 Proficiency exam. It explains that the exam has 5 components (Reading, Use of English, Writing, Listening, Speaking) with different point values and minimum scores to pass. It outlines the process for calculating scores which involves: 1) Adding points from each component, 2) Calculating the percentage score for each by dividing points earned by total points possible, 3) Averaging the percentages, and 4) Converting the average percentage to a Cambridge Scale Score to determine the final grade.

How to calculate the score for C2 Proficiency (CPE)
The C2 Proficiency (CPE) test has 5 components (papers) and each of these
components has a certain number of parts and items (i.e. questions). Pay close attention to the number of each part because although Reading & Use of English are done together, as one part, they are assessed separately and so some parts belong to Reading and others to Use of English. Reading: 31 items = 44 points Part 1: 8 items (1 items = 1 point) Part 5: 6 items (1 items = 2 points) Part 6: 7 items (1 items = 2 points) Part 7: 10 items (1 items = 1 points) Minimum score to pass: 28 points Use of English: 22 items = 28 points Part 2: 8 items (1 item = 1 point) Part 3: 8 items (1 item = 1 point) Part 4: 6 items (1 item = 2 points) Minimum score to pass: 17 puntos Writing: 2 items = 40 points Part 1: 1 items = 20 points Part 2: 1 items = 20 points Minimum score to pass: 24 points Listening: 30 items = 30 points (1 item = 1 point) Part 1: 6 items Part 2: 9 items Part 3: 5 items Part 4: 10 items Minimum score to pass: 18 points Speaking: 75 points in total (not divided into items or parts). In this case, the score is assigned to different competences: Grammar: 5 points (up to 5 points, but multiplied by 2) Lexis: 5 points (up to 5 points, but multiplied by 2) Discourse: 5 points (up to 5 points, but multiplied by 2) Pronunciation: 5 points (up to 5 points, but multiplied by 2) Interaction: 5 poinst (up to 5 points, but multiplied by 2) Global: 25 points (up to 5 points, but multiplied by 5) Puntuación mínima para aprobar: 45 puntos Awesome. So now the process to calculate your C2 score is easy peasy. Pay attention, because I’m going to tell you exactly how to calculate your C2 Proficiency score, but be careful not to make a mistake, because it’s pretty easy to mess it all up. Follow these steps: 1. Add up the points for each part separately. For example: R = 29 points; UoE = 20 points; W = 30 points; L = 18 points; S = 49 points. 2. Calculate the percentage for each part. To do so, divide the points obtained by the total points of each part, and then multiply it by 100. Like this: Formula: (points/no. items) x 100 R = 29/44×100 = 66% UoE = 20/28×100 = 71% W = 30/40×100 = 75% L = 18/30×100 = 60% S = 49/75×100 = 65% 3. Work out the average of the 5 percentages: Formula: Average = (R + UoE + W + L + S)/5 My score = (66 + 71 + 75 + 60 + 65)/5 My score = 68% 4. Use the following converter to transform the percentage into the Cambridge Scale Score. For example, if you type in 68%, you’ll get 207 points, which means you have passed at Grade C.
